There’s certainly never a shortage of things to do in NYC. During my 20-30 trips there over the course of my life, I’ve managed to do almost all of these things. One thing I wish I’d known about on my last trip there a few days ago is the Bushwick Art Collective, as I was staying near Bushwick and could’ve easily made it there had I known. Adding it to my list for next time!

NYC is totally one of my favorite cities in the world – it is so super exciting with ohhh so much to do. It’s totally a city that does not sleep. Times Square was definitely interesting with so much going on. You could spend hours just people watching here! And it is so colorful. The one thing I missed that I was sad about was the cruise to liberty island – I hope one day I’ll make it back to this city and will finally see liberty up close!

NYC is one of our favourite urban cities. There is so much to do and to visit! We actually would love to come back and that next trip will be dedicated to eating only! So many good spots to eat. If you go back you have to test out Katz deli!

Ah….. how I miss the Big Apple! I absolutely love this city and I keep going back to the sam spots because I love it so much. I dind’t do a night tour though and I think that’s a really great idea. I remember seeing the Statue of Liberty for the first time…. stunned and awed:)
